Chiefs offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif can finally
put away the medical books for a while and spend all his free time studying up
his playbook.

Duvernay-Tardif graduated from McGill University's medical school on
Tuesday.

The Chiefs picked Duvernay-Tardif in the sixth round of the 2014
draft http://www.falconsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-calvin-ridley-jersey ,
but despite playing at a smaller Canadian school, he quickly earned a starting
job. But he never gave up his pursuit of medicine, spending time each offseason
doing school work and hospital rotations.

Duvernay-Tardif posted a photo of himself on social media after commencement
wearing a lab coat with "Dr. Duvernay-Tardif" across the back and his No. 76 in
Chiefs colors. "This is it!" he said. "Today I become a doctor! It also marks
the beginning of a great new adventure."

Duvernay-Tardif plans to begin his medical career after his playing days are
over. He signed a $41.25 million, five-year contract to remain with the Chiefs
last offseason.

The Giants made it clear when they didn’t use the second overall pick in the
draft on a quarterback that they still considered Eli Manning their quarterback
of the immediate future.

But any succession plan they might have had went away when they cut 2017
third-rounder Davis Webb, leaving an odd lot of backups and journeyman workouts
on the way.

It’s clear that Shurmur and new General Manager Dave Gettleman just didn’t
think Webb was any good, as they booted him to leave them with rookie Kyle
Lauletta and Alex Tanney, while they work out Matt McGloin. Nothing about that
suggests that they’re thinking down the line.

Then again, the 37-year-old Manning has been durable, and by using the second
pick on Saquon Barkley and paying Odell Beckham, it’s obvious they thought the
best plan was to insulate him with parts to make him productive right now.

Even for the short term Jabaal

backup, though from his comments it doesn’t seem like it would be Lauletta. That
suggests either the 30-year-old Tanney (and his one game of NFL experience) or
McGloin might be in that role.

鈥淗ere鈥檚 the thing with a veteran backup quarterback: They can go in and
function with very few reps,鈥?Shurmur said. 鈥淚 think that鈥檚 an attribute that I
look for in a guy that could potentially be a backup to a guy like Eli, because
they don鈥檛 get that many reps during the training sessions.鈥?/p>

And considering Manning only needed time off when a since-fired coach made a
bad decision, they’re hoping they don’t have to worry too much about that
spot.
